Banana, Sunflower and Pistachio Bread

This isn't a bread in the traditional sense - there's no yeast or kneading at all. It's just a variation on the typical Banana Bread and was found in Marie Claire's "Sweet" book by Jody Vassallo. It's one I've had my eye on for a while - I find it impossible to resist anything with pistachios.

Dear Haalo, Bananas with sunflower seeds and Pistachio - and what you get at the end is BREAD - now that's a truly amazing combo. I love pistachios. Looks so good. I have just one hope-filled query - Can this be made without eggs :).

Hi Pritya - if you leave out the eggs then it would probably be more like a brick than a bread. I think though you could adapt the method from this recipe where ricotta is used to lighten and lift the cake.
